Wellsboro Agitator - JUN 12,1883
IN MEMORIAM
THE LATE ROSWELL ACKLEY, OF CLYMER TOWNSHIP
To the Editor of the Agitator
Clymer, June 4, 1883- Mr Roswell Ackley died of pneumonia, at his residence
in Clymer Township, on Thursday, May 31, 1883, in the seventy-ninth year
of his age. Mr. Ackley was born in Tompkins county, N Y March 14, 1805.
He came to this State about thirty-five years ago, and settled on the farm
where he has ever since resided. His father died when he was eight years
old and his mother when he was thirteen. Left an orphan, this early in
life, without money and obliged to depend upon himself, he formed those
habits of self reliance and industry which characterized his after life.
He was just such a man as this country most needs- active, energetic, self
reliant and of uncompromising integrity. Perhaps no man in this community
has done more to reclaim this country from the wilderness and bring it
to its present prosperous condition than Roswell Ackley. The fruits of
his labor are to be seen on every side in the beautiful and fertile fields
and numerous buildings which dot the landscape in every direction, enduring
monuments of his industry and skill. He has left his “footprints in the
sands of time.” When the demon of war broke loose he stood firm and
loyal to the old flag. Too old to go to the front himself, he freely gave
his six stalwart sons for the preservation of the Union, all of whom he
was permitted to see return to their homes. Such was the confidence of
the boys of his acquaintance at the front in his integrity that they made
him custodian of their funds. Their confidence was never betrayed; and
although the services he rendered the soldiers were many and sometimes
arduous he would never accept a penny from them in return. He united with
the M E Church at the age of twenty-three, and was an honored member at
the time of his death. He leaves an aged wife and seven children and a
large circle of friends to mourn his loss. Having been often called upon
to settle the estates of his deceased neighbors, there are those to whom
he has been guardian and a father who will always remember him with love
and regret. Although everything that money and skill could devise
was done and after eight days of sickness he yielded up his spirit to his
Father and his God. In the little church near his home, which his own hands
helped to rear and which had been his special care, the funeral services
were held, Rev. Mr Howland preaching from Job xiv., 14. Many were unable
to gain admission to the house, which was nearly filled with mourning friends.
By his own request his favorite hymn was sung: “there is a gate that stands
ajar”
